Greg Jennings tore into former teammate Aaron Rodgers for trashing current Packers players in public

Aaron Rodgers Greg Jennings Packers

Aaron Rodgers is currently stuck in one of the bigger, more frustrating tailspins of his Packers career. Green Bay has lost three consecutive games and, in the process, somehow looked progressively worse on each occasion. At the same time, Rodgers is seemingly stuck in an individual rut that he can’t climb out of.

To explain the Packers’ current predicaments, Rodgers appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, where he pointed the brunt of the blame at his teammates but, notably and curiously — not himself.

Greg Jennings, who played with Rodgers from 2006-2012, took issue with the quarterback deciding to lambast his teammates publicly. Judging by Jennings’ stance, Rodgers crossed a line:

It’s hard to disagree with Jennings’ point.

Even if Rodgers’ comments have a degree of truth to them (and I’m not saying they do), it can’t be healthy for the Packers’ roster when they’re getting ripped apart, in public, by the face of the franchise. If Rodgers has notes or “critiques” for his teammates — those should be shared behind closed doors out of respect.

Plus, when Rodgers will seemingly do everything to find fault in everyone else but himself, his criticisms ring a bit hollow. Jennings is correct, and it’s time for Rodgers to look in the mirror.

NFL fans found it hard to disagree with Jennings' thoughts on Rodgers' public criticisms
